Thanks for that, Yank...and good to see you, as always. Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney make me sicker than W and Cheney ever did....and that's pretty sick...because the Repubs have had a long time to prepare the way for their destruction of the middle class, beginning with Mitch McConnell's statement right after the election that he wanted the Obama presidency to "fail." Along with the Blue Dogs and the other half-baked Democrats, they've been doing a pretty good job of it, even though the President has put up a pretty good fight.

Thanks Catherine, so very glad to see you too! I have had quite a year, Breast Cancer I diagnosis , free mammogram in February due to Affordable Healthcare Act (no out-of-pocket expenses from my insurance plan). Official diagnosis in March after MRI & biopsy, lumpectomy and lymph surgery in May, all clear margins and negative, I am now cancer-free! I am doing preventative chemotherapy now, lost my hair, wearing fashionable satin headwrap Will undergo radiation therapy after that, then I am done before 2013. I thank God and ACA everyday Romney and Ryan will get kicked to the curb 2012, by millions of us

Your story is one of thousands that I wish the public could hear when they're contemplating which candidate to vote for, yank. SO GLAD your cancer was caught early...that's the way to defeat this insidious disease...early detection, and I'm speaking as a 23 year survivor! But without the ACA, cancer will win right along with the Repubs and that is definitely taking our country BACKWARDS. I understand that the Republicans are counting on people allowing that to happen to them through lack of thinking and understanding of hard issues....and being brainwashed by Faux Noise.

Keep showing up at TVNL and we'll keep on keeping on...
